Obama is Grazed by Friendly Media Fire, Shrieks Like a Little Girl.

Jimmie | July 14, 2008 | Comments (11)

Well, if the intent of the New Yorker was to generate publicity, it certainly accomplished its task. The left is full of the sort of blustery indignation that would lead you to believe that they had never, ever savaged an opponent with “satire”. Even (or especially) MS-NBC is leaping off the rhetorical cliff with its [...]

The Audacity of Narcissism

Jimmie | July 13, 2008 | Comments (5)

The more I see Barack Obama, the more I realize that his ego is truly out of control and that this is not at all a new thing for him. Jonah Goldberg gives us a quick history of Obama’s egotism, starting with this quote from his book “The Audacity of Hope”. I find comfort in [...]

Playing Possumus

Back in May, Barack Obama said that if John McCain wanted to sit down with him “anywhere, anytime to have a debate about…our respective policies in Iraq, in Iran, the Middle East or around the world” it would be a conversation he’d be “happy to have”. You really didn’t think that would hold up two [...]

Obama is Showing Definite Signs of Being an East-West Runner

Jimmie | July 12, 2008 | Comments (0)

Barely a week ago, I called Barack Obama’s ninth flip-flop a doozy. Little did I know. His latest flip-flop position that will require further clarification, involves whether Osama bin Laden should get the death penalty should we catch him alive. His position today is a very qualified maybe which is a change from his previous [...]

Jackson Goes All Pit-Fighter on Obama, or So It Seems.

Jimmie | July 9, 2008 | Comments (4)

The blogosphere is aflame with this story, wherein noted race-bater Jesse Jackson got a little *ahem* street on Barack Obama. In an aside to another guest after a Fox News Channel interview on Sunday, Jackson had said Obama had been talking down to black people and added: “I want to cut his nuts out.” He [...]

How Do You Say “Here We Go A-Pandering” in Spanish?

Jimmie | July 9, 2008 | Comments (1)

Both John McCain and Barack Obama are scheduled to speak in front of a group you may not have heard very much about, or if you have heard of them, what you’ve been told has likely been spun through a friendly media filter. The group is called La Raza and, though they are billed as [...]

Susan Rice, National Security Adviser to Losers, Gets It Wrong Again

Jimmie | July 9, 2008 | Comments (0)

If you haven’t heard of Susan Rice yet, I’m sure you will before long. She’s Barack Obama’s national security adviser. She’s also been a national security guru for Michael Dukakis and John Kerry, so you can see that she’s barely capable of playing a winning game of Risk much less giving credible foreign police advice. [...]

How Do You Like Your Obama?

Jimmie | July 7, 2008 | Comments (2)

Barack Obama: Magic Inkblot. It is really a good thing that we have a Presidential candidate whose personality and policies are so nebulous that we can legitimately see in them completely contradictory views? I think it’s a troubling sign when Libertarians and old-school progressives can both find a lot to like in Barack Obama, so [...]
